El Curro and Teresa Champion
By Kathleen Trenchard
This cut paper wall hanging was designed, cut and displayed for a San Antonio “Luminaria” event. It portrays the iconic couple, who appeared in the famous “Alamo” film with John Wayne. Maestra Teresa continues to dance, while her families’ three generations continue traditional flamenco dance and teaching. The Champion family used this design in the creation of a recent Fiesta medal.
